HTC have built a great reputation in the mobile phone world for reliable, stylish and great performing handsets on the strength of models such as the Legend, Hero and Desire. The latter of these is in many peoples opinion the best smartphone to date, thus it was the logical candidate for a tweak here and there to bring it bang up to date with competitors offerings, and so the HTC Desire S was born.
The Desire S is once again a handset running on the Android operating system. This will please many smartphone users as the platform has achieved great popularity thanks to its ease of use for both users and developers, and also thanks to the wealth of downloads already in the market place. This model runs on the very latest offering which is 2.3, or Gingerbread as it is otherwise known. Although not really changing anything cosmetically about the platform, this latest version offers improvements with regards to text inputting as well as offering longer battery life thanks to improvements in the power management department. This battery time now run to over 7 hours of 3G talktime. In keeping with many modern handsets, the phone sports a 1Ghz processor that ensures all task are carried out at great speed. When scrolling through homepages the screens move in an instant, with no lag on the loading of application or the rendering of web pages. This web usage is also helped by the fact that the Desire S offers some brilliant connectivity options whether you are at home or on the move. Thanks to Wireless LAN facilities, you can connect to a viable WiFi network for the best experience, however whilst on the move the 3G connection still offers an unrivalled mobile method with fast data exchange rates and widespread coverage.
Anybody looking for a phone to use as a camera or to capture video footage will not be disappointed with what the HTC Desire S has to offer. Still photographs are captured at 8 million pixel resolution, which pitches the Desire S a good 3 million pixels ahead of some of its rivals. The still shot experience is helped by useful features such as an LED flash as well as an autofocus, whilst less common features such as image stabilisation and touch focus further enhance the facility. Should you want to capture film footage, then this model excels thanks to 720P video capture which classifies the end product as high definition. This footage looks great on the phones 3.7" screen, where the 480 x 800 resolution display really shows it off in all its glory. Capable of displaying 16 million colours, the screen is a capacitive touch panel that also incorporates an accelerometer chip and proximity sensor.
The HTC Desire was a hard act to follow, however it seems the manufacturers have done an outstanding job in taking a popular model and improving it, whilst not taking away any element that made us fall in love with this model in the first place.
The HTC Desire S and the Motorola Pro are coming soon.
